Congratulatory address (free translation):
“Dear citizens of Mongolia!”
Dear brothers and sisters by blood!
At this significant moment in our history, as we welcome the new year, I want to express my sincerest wishes to all of you who joyfully await this time with your loved ones.
The New Year is a time of renewal, a moment when families and nations reflect on their achievements, symbolizing a new start, full of hope and energy, welcomed with joy and happiness.
Recently, the whole world has faced serious geopolitical challenges, and we live in conditions of conflict.
Despite the negative impact of the international situation on our economic affairs and the lives of people, the year 2025 was rich in historical events for us, the Mongols, during which we expanded international cooperation and achieved success in the agricultural sector, showcasing our cultural heritage to the world.
Thanks to the joint efforts of the people, entrepreneurs, and the government, the country's economy grew by 6%, and GDP per capita exceeded $7,000, contributing to increased trade volumes and investment inflows. Foreign exchange reserves reached $6 billion, and Mongolia's credit rating rose to a historic level.
As part of the national initiative “Food Revolution,” aimed at ensuring food security, 53 new enterprises were opened in the agro-industrial complex, and more than 1,000 new products entered the market.
The “White Gold” program, aimed at processing agricultural raw materials and integrating them into the economy, is being successfully implemented.
On behalf of the state, I express my sincere gratitude to all entrepreneurs and citizens who work for the development of the country, create jobs, and support government policies, taking responsibility for economic development.
The year 2025 was significant as our external connections strengthened and successful visits were made that will be remembered. Mongolia's reputation on the international stage has grown, and our nation has showcased its rich cultural heritage.
This was a special year when our scientists, youth, and athletes elevated the prestige of the country, surprising the world with their talent and courage, bringing joy to the Mongolian people.
Dear compatriots!
In the new year, let us continue together, the government and the people, to strengthen our achievements, learn from our mistakes, value harmony, protect justice, and work as a united whole for the good of Mongolia.
At this festive moment, when the hearts of all Mongolians beat in unison, we wish our people all the best in the coming year, may it be filled with love, respect, and inspiration.
As the head of state, at this decisive moment of the new year, I express special gratitude to those who protect our country at the border; to the peacekeepers who serve in the name of peace; to the medical workers who care for the health of the nation; as well as to the servicemen and emergency service workers who diligently fulfill their duties to ensure safety.
In 2026, may every citizen live in peace, every family be filled with happiness, and the spirit of Mongolia be uplifted. May peace reign throughout the world.
May Mongolia prosper under the protection of the Eternal Blue Sky.
Happy New Year!”
